Definitions

the present invention relates to a sifter for sprinkling material, in particular a sifter for flour or seeds for use in an industrial dough line.
Sifter for sprinkling materials are well known in the art, and serve to provide flour or seeds or the like onto a dough sheet, separate dough product, or dough conveyor before dough is applied.
Flour may serve to avoid sticking of the dough onto the conveyor, or separate parts of the dough onto each other.
Seeds may be added for their specific taste or as a decoration material.
Automated dough lines may comprise one or more of these units, that normally comprise a reservoir for the sprinkling material, for delivering sprinkling material to a sifter body with dispensing openings for the sprinkling material, and a transporter, for transporting the sprinkling material from the reservoir to the sifter body and/or through the sifter body.
the sprinkling material may then fall from the openings onto a substrate such as a conveyor belt with a dough sheet or separate dough products on it, or a conveyor on which these products are to be placed.
a substrate such as a conveyor belt with a dough sheet or separate dough products on it, or a conveyor on which these products are to be placed.
the reservoir may be on top of the sifter body, so that gravity helps the sprinkling material to flow to the sifter body and also to reach the openings.
the transporter may be a screw conveyor, that helps the sprinkling material to travel from the reservoir to the openings and also to pass through the latter.
the looped channel comprises two parallel channels, connected by U-turns at their ends.
the channels may preferably be arranged directly next to each other and the U-turns formed by any suitable connection, which may in the simplest form be an opening between the two channels through which sprinkling material can travel.
the channels may be elongate and extend over a distance that corresponds at least to the width of the dough conveyor.
the transporter may for instance comprise a pair of helix shaped or screw conveyors, arranged in the channels.
a screw transporter may be used for seeds or sprinkling material with a relative high particle size, smaller sizes, such as flour, may better be transported with an open, helix shaped transporter, to avoid compression and clogging.
These conveyors may be arranged to turn in opposite direction during use, so that sprinkling material is actually circulated. The sprinkling material is then transported from left to right seen in the direction of the conveyor belt by the first screw conveyor, then makes a turn automatically because the conveyors and the channels are adjacent, and is then transported from right to left by the second conveyor.
the sifter for sprinkling material according to the invention may further comprise a roller, arranged under the at least one dispensing opening, for delivering the sprinkling material to dough pieces or a dough sheet on an under laying conveyor belt, or to the conveyor belt itself.
a roller arranged under the at least one dispensing opening, for delivering the sprinkling material to dough pieces or a dough sheet on an under laying conveyor belt, or to the conveyor belt itself.
Such roller makes that the sprinkling material is more evenly distributed.
the dispensing opening may be provided with valves, that serve to close or open the openings. By operating the valves, various patterns may be obtained, smaller or broader lanes, or the number of lanes can be varied for instance.
the sifter for sprinkling material according to the invention comprises multiple dispensing openings, which may be a number up to the number of valves, so that each valve opens or closes one opening.
the present invention also relates to a sifter for sprinkling material with movable switches, with a single transporter and a single channel.
This channel may be used unidirectional or bidirectional, that is, the transporter may be used in two directions.
the invention proposes a sifter for sprinkling material, comprising at least one reservoir for sprinkling material, a sifter body, comprising at least one dispensing opening for the sprinkling material, for transporting the sprinkling material from the reservoir to the sifter body, wherein the sifter for sprinkling material is provided with valves, wherein the valves comprise movable switches, comprising at least one opening, wherein the switches are placeable between a position wherein the at least one opening is aligned with the at least one dispensing opening in the dividing body, and a position wherein the opening is not aligned with the at least one dispensing opening in the dividing body, and blocks the dispens
each valve comprises two openings, at a mutual distance that corresponds with a mutual distance between the openings of the looped channel of the sifter body, for opening or closing two openings simultaneously.
These two openings provide sprinkling material at the same width location, so this configuration leads to a more even sprinkling material dispensing, and additionally allows to dispense higher volumes of sprinkling material at the same time, which allows for instance a higher dough speed below the sifter for sprinkling material.
Figure 2 shows that the sifter for sprinkling material is further configured with a roller 13 , arranged under the dispensing openings, for delivering the sprinkling material to dough on an under laying belt conveyor 10.
the dispensing openings are provided with valves 14.
the valves comprise movable switches having at least one opening, movable between a position wherein the at least one opening is aligned with an dispensing opening 15, 16 in the dividing body, and a position wherein the opening is not aligned with an dispensing opening 15, 16 in the dividing body, and blocks the dispensing opening 15, 16.
FIG 3 shows the sifter for sprinkling material 1 according to the invention, with one valve 14 taken out of the device.
the valve 14 comprises two openings 17, 18 that can be aligned with dispensing openings 15, 16 at a mutual distance that corresponds with a mutual distance between the openings of the looped channel of the sifter body, for opening or closing two openings simultaneously in order to allow sprinkling material to be sifted.
the valves 14 can be operated manually or by means of any type of actuator, by rotating them in the direction 19, when they are in position in the device 1.
Figure 3 also clearly shows the reservoir 2, that is placed besides the region of belt 10, in order to easily allow refilling of reservoir 2 via lid 20.
